There is no doubt Shatta Wale is currently one of the most influential, if not the most influential Ghanaian on this planet. His SM4life (Shatta Wale Movement For Life) followers are ready to do what he commands at the raise of a thumb. Not only has he got a good grasp of the streets but also his recent collaboration with Beyonce elevated him from being called the local champion fans of rival artists used to place on him. So the question is how influential are his fashion statements. Let’s look into it.
The ‘paaaa paaa paaa paaaa’ shouter attended the VMAs19 with his date Fantana! Although that became the talk of his arrival many failed to notice he was also making a fashion statement, be it his own or witnessed elsewhere. Shatta Wale arrived in a suit with half his shirt tucked in and the other half falling below the belt.
In hind sight it might have seemed a bit like a messy school boy look with the shirt badly tucked in, when in actual fact we were witness a fashion statment being pushed by the dancehall artists himself. This is one trend to watch, however will it hit amongst the young men of Ghana and outside Ghana? Let’s wait and see. For now spot him doing it below.
